Ruptured saline implant, but can I continue with IVF and remove/replace implants later?

Asked By:Witty674625 in Chicago, Illinois

I am 46 years old and going through IVF. I got saline implants 12/2006. On 1/2022 my right implant ruptured. I went and got a mammogram and it was confirmed. I have no pain or discharge. My intention was to have them removed after I had my baby, but unfortunately my implant ruptured. My question is, can I wait to have the implants removed after I have a baby if I am able to get pregnant ? I do want to add that I am in good physical shape and I’m a long distance runner.
